What Can We Take From This?

Some stories just amaze us, and his story of struggle and then beating depression is definitely an inspired one. Failure, struggles, depression are just phases of life and it’s all about your attitude towards them and this belief has kept him going. Failure is a great teacher if you do not fail you will never learn and if you do not learn you will never grow.

He was successful in beating his depression through his skills i.e. acting in movies and working on what he likes. To add to this, he has a supporting family behind him.

 

What also keeps him going is his self-motivation and his acceptance towards failure, because he truly believes -“Success and failure are both part of life. Both are not permanent”.

While he believes in failure, on the other hand, he deeply has faith in hard work as he once stated , “Every morning I wake up and think of the same thing that is the first shot of my life so I better make it stick”.
